While this is a positive step, it doesn&rsquo;t go far enough since the new regulation does not expressly prohibit all forms of FGM. According to our partner Kalyanamitra, instead it disturbingly states that while no actual cutting of the female genitalia should be performed by medical personnel, any practice of FGM should be done with regard for the health and safety of the girl or woman. <br /></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Without a law strictly prohibiting FGM in Indonesia, the government is tacitly endorsing a harmful practice that violates Indonesian girls&rsquo; human rights to bodily integrity, equality and freedom from discrimination, and violates Indonesia&rsquo;s domestic and international obligations. In response, in March and April 2014, Equality Now and Kalyanamitra made submissions to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) and the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) to call attention to the Indonesian government&rsquo;s failure to ban all forms of FGM. In its official <a target="_blank" href="http://docstore.ohchr.org/SelfServices/FilesHandler.ashx?enc=4slQ6QSmlBEDzFEovLCuW4GW2GSAXBpHQuQwINIy72lxMWErat97Ez2xNyVE61sXgCDUdfsGxklMwnU0krhfmrHFxBs1sFjO0Z1jHGO5g9UNjJoG3SS%2fWdKDwVJkEef8">Concluding Observations</a> released in June 2014, the CESCR urged Indonesia to undertake the &ldquo;prohibition of FGM&rdquo; and &ldquo;conduct culturally sensitive education campaigns against FGM.&rdquo; In June 2014, the <a target="_blank" href="http://tbinternet.ohchr.org/Treaties/CRC/Shared Documents/IDN/CRC_C_IDN_CO_3-4_17495_E.doc">CRC noted</a> its grave concern about the high number of girls who had been subjected to FGM and urged Indonesia to adopt legislation to prohibit all forms of FGM, fully criminalize it and set up awareness-raising and educational programs.<br /></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Please continue to stand up for the rights of Indonesia&rsquo;s girls by calling on its government to comprehensively ban FGM, enact strong penalties for violators, and conduct public awareness-raising on the harms and consequences of FGM as a human rights violation. Equality Now and Kalyanamitra will continue to use all available avenues to hold Indonesia accountable for protecting girls from FGM, and we will keep you updated as progress is made.</strong></em></p><hr /><p><em>8 AUGUST 2013 UPDATE: We are pleased to report that following Equality Now and Kalyanamitra&rsquo;s joint submission to the Human Rights Committee (HRC), the Committee expressed concern about Indonesia&rsquo;s passage of a regulation legitimizing FGM in their concluding comments. The HRC has called on the Indonesian government to repeal the regulation and to &ldquo;enact a law that prohibits any form of FGM and ensure that it provides adequate penalties that reflect the gravity of this offence.&rdquo; They went on to urge the government to &ldquo;make efforts to prevent and eradicate harmful traditional practices including FGM, by strengthening its awareness-raising and education programmes.&rdquo; (CCPR/C/IDN/CO/1, Advance unedited version)&nbsp; We hope that the Indonesian government will adhere to the Committee&rsquo;s recommendations and take immediate steps to protect Indonesian women and girls from this violation of their human rights.</em></p><hr /><p><em>25 JUNE 2013 UPDATE: Indonesia will be coming up for review in July 2013 at the 108th session of the Human Rights Committee which monitors implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) by State parties. Equality Now and our Indonesian partner Kalyanamitra have sent a joint <a href="http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrc/docs/ngos/EqualityNow1_Indonesia_HRC108.pdf" target="_blank">submission</a> to bring the Committee's attention to the ongoing government legitimization of FGM in Indonesia. We continue to call on the government of Indonesia to repeal the 2010 Ministry of Health regulation legitimizing the practice of FGM and to enact and implement comprehensive legislation banning FGM with strong penalties for violators.</em></p><hr /> </div>

<p><span style="font-size: larger;"><strong>Letter to Government Officials:</strong></span></p> <p>Dear [&nbsp;&nbsp; ]:</p> <p>I am deeply concerned about the November 2010 Ministry of Health regulation which legitimizes the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) and authorizes medical professionals to perform it. &ldquo;Medicalization&rdquo; of FGM permits a procedure that is harmful to girls and women. It also violates the ethical code governing the professional conduct of doctors, nurses, midwives and other health care workers. Several efforts have been made to have this regulation overturned, but to no avail. I share the concerns of human rights groups on the ground that medicalization of any form of FGM legitimizes the practice thus rendering it impossible to stop the practice.</p> <p>According to the World Health Organization, of which Indonesia is a member state, FGM refers to all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. The WHO has strongly urged health professionals not to practice any form of FGM. FGM is classified by the WHO into four major types:</p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><u>Type I</u>: Clitoridectomy: partial or total removal of the clitoris (a small, sensitive and erectile part of the female genitals that includes the glans of the clitoris) and, in very rare cases, only the prepuce (the fold of skin surrounding the clitoris). <br /> <u>Type II</u>: Excision: partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora (the labia are &quot;the lips&quot; that surround the vagina). <br /> <u>Type III</u>: Infibulation: narrowing of the vaginal opening through the creation of a covering seal. The seal is formed by cutting and repositioning the inner, or outer, labia, with or without removal of the clitoris. <br /> <u>Type IV</u>: Other: all other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, e.g. pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterizing the genital area.</p> <p>FGM is a form of violence and discrimination against girls and women and is internationally recognized as a violation of their human rights. All forms of FGM violate a range of human rights of girls and women, including their right to sexual and bodily integrity, to non-discrimination, to protection from physical and mental violence and to the highest, attainable standard of health. FGM also constitutes cruel and degrading treatment of girls and women.</p> <p>The Ministry of Health regulation runs counter to a number of Indonesian laws which include decrees enshrining international legal obligations such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT) in the national legal framework.</p> <p>I would like to urge you to ensure that Indonesia lives up to its domestic and international obligations by taking the following steps:</p> <ul> <li>Repealing the 2010 Ministry of Health regulation legitimizing the practice of FGM</li> <li>Enacting and implementing comprehensive legislation banning FGM with strong penalties for violators</li> <li>Conducting public awareness-raising and education campaigns to change cultural perception and beliefs on FGM and acknowledging FGM as a human rights violation with harmful consequences</li> </ul> <p>Yours sincerely,<br /> &nbsp;</p> <hr /> <p><strong><span style="font-size: larger;">Letter to Indonesian Medical groups (Ob/Gyns, Nurses and Midwives):</span></strong></p> <p>Dear [&nbsp;&nbsp; ]:</p> <p>I am deeply concerned about the November 2010 Ministry of Health regulation which legitimizes the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) and authorizes medical professionals to perform it. &ldquo;Medicalization&rdquo; of FGM permits a procedure that is harmful to girls and women.
